This before sofa didn’t look too bad at all, but if you are familiar with that itchy, velcro-like upholstery fabric favored by furniture makers of yore, then you know it had to G to the O. My grandma had a couch like this, and I swear you could comb your hair out just by rubbing your head alongside it.
Erin had it professionally reupholstered, but saved serious cash by finding that fabric for $3 per yard. It looks fantastic! The great lines of this piece really stand out now. Oh animal print, never go away! See more on Erin’s blog We A.R.E. Randall’s.

October 12, 2011 at 1:41 AMWhere oh where would you find fabric that awesome for three freaking dollars a yard???!!!! Really!? I too hope animal print never goes out of style. It will be a sad day. Or maybe I’ll still rock it and live in denial.
Great makeover!
